Board of Directors

Foothills Community Christian School has a School Board that is varied in background, but united in purpose: to see that the children who come through FCCS are taught and guided by a worldview that places Christ at the center. Each board member is deeply committed to that ideal and gives liberally of time in serving the school and helping to accomplish that mission.

* The School Board, who collectively defines the values of the organization, provides strategic leadership, articulates the vision of the organization, and ensures the organization is reaching the desired end results as specified through Board Policy.

* The Head of School, who oversess all academic staff and has primary responsibility for managing all parent and student relations including admissions, attendance, and discipline. This individual also oversees institutional finances. This individual is a direct report to the School Board.
